Sometimes. But that reduces the amount of carbon generated.

And another thing: We often talk about the negative effects of cow farts, but there are more humans farting than bovines. People generate a lot of environmentally damaging gases. Maybe everyone with an a$$ should be taxed.

Just sayin'.

According to that logic, total nuclear war would be the best thing that could ever happen to the environment. Go go Trump!

Indeed. It would be the best thing since the asteroid impact 65 million years ago.

We need a new environment and nothing beats a push of the global reset button.

No, I'd go with an asteroid strike. Nuclear weapons might cause other problems. Having a giant rock hit the planet knocks bio-material into space and kills a bunch without possible 'glow in the dark' issues.

Now, limited nuclear strikes are an option I'd examine, if I had some say. I suspect they might be easier to manage.

Sure, but if we stopped eating foods devoid of natural enzymes... ie) cow meat... maybe we could be a fartless species and save the planet that way :p

That's what we need. Some thinking outside the box. But vegetarians tend to be more gaseous. That said, we might be able to farm them. Lock up all the vegetarians in a glass covered complex that can collect their emissions, and we can use it to burn and power things.

Because, honestly, how many times has someone said, "If we could only bottle that!" when a person near them lets one go.

I can assure you... I am not more gaseous than a meat eater. Proper diet will do that for you

I'm not too sure about that. I became more flatulent after going vegan. That said, I'm sure a vegan society would still produce less gas than all of the bovines we eat.

I hope you're not suggesting that we just let bovines die off! They have a right to live, and breed and stuff. If we could communicate with them, I think they'd like the idea of helping save the planet. They could wear something like this. There could be serious money in cow fart collecting!



We could dance for the cows and make them want to be more involved!

As much as Queen Elizabeth is more symbolic than an active contributor to Canada, I respect the tradition. She is patron to the Canadian Cancer Society, CDN Red Cross, CDN Humane Association and Colonel-in-Chief to the Armed Forces and the Grenadier Guards. Same as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, etc...Police Officers, Armed Forces, Public Servants, and new citizens swear alliance to the Queen (this one is probably going to change, new citizens don't want to accept this old tradition). In my opinion, I don't see any harm in being the oldest continuing monarchies in the world and for us to have a direct link to a powerful country like England. Plus my mom and my older beautiful aunts all love the Royal. LOL

... and to her heirs and sucessors. The oath is broken when we die, not when they die.

Then again, what's in a contract, eh?

The evidence from nukes leaking would suggest otherwise.

Oldest continuing monarchy in the world? No. Our direct link to the country like England is called The Bank of England. The Queen ias a stock holder, so are the kids and thier relatives. They ain't english and I hesitate to comment further about thier actual path to power.


They are able to approximate a human quite convincingly however.

They are cultivated in large replicating sacks resmbling big sweet potatoes. I have visited the nursery.

Get rid of 'em. I have no problem with Lizzy, she's been a pretty classy lady throughout a lot of sh*t in her life. However, considering the Queen nor the GG really interferes in the affairs of the Canadian govt nor are in integral part of it, I see no reason to keep the arrangement beyond the Queen's passing.
The position of Queen of Canada is purely a titular position. Which means the GG is nothing more than an un-elected representative of a figurehead. Why do we want to keep this arrangement?
